About David's Hot Pot

Simmering split-pots and deep, spiced broths make this Point Cook fixture built for spirited communal dining. Tables fill with bubbling cauldrons—from rich beef tallow to soothing mushroom and pork bone broth—alongside thin folds of wagyu, quail eggs, and fresh enoki. Ordering runs directly through your phone screen, leaving the floor staff free to check in and pace the meal. Regulars bypass the weekend surcharge by heading in on Tuesday nights, where a flat-rate buffet spreads out dipping sauces, chilled lemon tea, and platters of spicy beef ready for a dip in the fish maw chicken broth.

  • Dual-broth cauldrons: Split-pots let tables share two distinct soup bases simultaneously, balancing rich beef tallow alongside lighter mushroom or seafood stocks.
  • Weekday buffet value: Tuesday nights feature an all-you-can-eat package with broths, meats, dipping sauces, drinks, and desserts for a fixed per-person rate.
  • Tableside digital ordering: Digital smartphone ordering at the table keeps ingredient restocks moving without waiting for standard paper order slips.

  • Cost-Conscious Weekday Visiting

    Diners save on overall spend while enjoying full menu offerings by planning visits during regular weekday service rather than paying weekend surcharges.

    Good experience but best to visit on weekdays.
